Mozilla.org: A Personal Report on the 4th Open Source Conference

"I attended the 2-day Open Source Conference in Monterey
primarily to check out Mozilla track sessions but also to gauge how
the Open Source movement itself is going. The following represents
my **personal** takes on some of the things I observed at the
conference...."

"The browser of the choice among the presenters -- not just in
the Mozilla track but also in the Key Note speeches -- was
overwhelmingly Mozilla. Our share at the conference was probably in
the above 95% range. People and exhibitors were mostly running
Linux and that was probably the reason. But there was also a
consensus emerging that Mozilla is critically important to the Open
Source Community and a lot of people in this crowd are using
Mozilla. In the network room, I saw several people trying to
download nightly builds on a not so fast connection. About the only
people I noticed who were using IE were sales clerks at O'Reilly
booths browsing their book titles."

"Mozilla sessions went very well. The first day's sessions --
six in all -- were very well-attended. The state of Mozilla and the
general architecture sessions were packed and people sat on the
floor to listen. Other sessions also attracted the room full of
attendees. There were 2 sessions on Mozilla on the 2nd day and the
crowd was somewhat smaller but overall well-attended."
